Breakfast will be available on Friday morning (while supplies last) to anyone who makes a donation on the day of the event (donate in-person or just show your online donation info from your phone).
Parking on Friday
Please respect GLOBE's neighbors in the community by obeying all speed and parking regulations and by not blocking driveways or mailboxes. At Upper Campus, due to ongoing construction, parking will NOT be available at Church in Atlanta, so please arrive early to find a parking spot close by.
On-site raffles will be taking place on Friday for the opportunity to win Eco Friendly car washes, goodies from Garnish and Gather, and swim lessons at Dynamo Chamblee.
Our top sponsors will be at GLOBE Trot to answer any questions about their products and services.
